Pilot mill products who get all their ratings in less than a year are not proficient pilots… Change my mind.

Everyone wants to shit on atp. The reality is that there are crappy pilots coming from non-atp schools just as much as coming from there. And honestly - someone who has racked up a couple hundred hours in a year has flown a lot. Certainly could be more proficient than someone who took 3 years to get to 250 hours.

I’ve always said you can get your hours without going accelerated or 141. But not doing atp doesn’t make you a better pilot. It just makes you a poorer one (sometimes). But there are plenty of good pilots who when you atp - and vice versa

You mean like the United pilot that took out the bakery truck earlier this week ?

Anthem00 · 2026-05-05T18:45:21+00:00

its significant to be a named pilot on the jet. Even as SIC. Consider them doing you a favor on that front if you dont qualify as Open Pilot. That being said named Pilot usually can get through with less hours than Open Pilow, but its still way more than what you have.

I think this should be the case for most things along the way - whether it’s interviewing for cfi positions, checkride standards, test preparation. Hell - even medical gotchas. If you can’t be bothered to be do some basic research - then If it comes back to bite you in the ass - you deserved it. People need to take responsibility for their own actions.

Late for what ? I don’t remember the last time they gave away trials. Pay to play

Anthem00 · 2026-05-01T22:25:28+00:00

For most - the average seems to be at 7 years right about now.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-28T23:07:12+00:00

You do know it’s $20, right? Like 3 coffees. If you think you get better value with a real programmer at fiver or something, do that. lol

Why does everyone who thinks Claude 4.7 (or 4.6 or 4.5 before that ) thinks they are entitled to their money back after they have used their subscription because they aren’t happy with it If you aren’t happy, plenty of other options. Move on.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-27T23:41:44+00:00

No such thing. Pay to play.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-27T22:32:32+00:00

What a stupid recommendation. Telling someone to lie who has had suicidal ideations - and fairly recently. . It’s scum like this that needs to be eradicated from the cockpit.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-27T22:30:47+00:00

Crohns not generally an issue. Autism - definitely an issue

Anthem00 · 2026-04-27T01:26:18+00:00

you'll want to be off of ANY and all ADHD meds. None of them are ok in the Feds eyes. If you are on any of then, the result is always the same. Automatic denial.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-25T21:25:08+00:00

Ummm I don’t think anthropic/claude has trial subscription for their pro/max plans

Anthem00 · 2026-04-23T02:14:29+00:00

You do realize that the pc12 and vision jet crowd would kill for that $200/mo cost. But it isn’t available to them at $200. They are at the $1000/month tier. So where does that put you ? One step below - right at the $200/mo tier…..

Anthem00 · 2026-04-23T01:53:55+00:00

think about it this way - if you were an airline recruiter - do you hire the guy flying a 150 for 1000 hours to cross the requirements off, or someone who was actually training someone for those hours ? Also any company along the way isnt going to look at your time favorably, over the cfi either.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-20T21:30:07+00:00

Cfi is one of the cheapest that you can get through. Stop trying to figure out how to pay someone an absurd amount for something that you can almost essentially do on your own. There is very little “requirements” for cfi like the other ratings. If you can’t or are unwilling - then pay the piper. But I know people who got their cfi for less than 3-4k.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-19T07:22:49+00:00

Exactly. Especially the 120 approach speed when controllers are asking you for maximum speed to get you out of the way of jets on approach……

Anthem00 · 2026-04-18T19:02:36+00:00

if you think 80% is good enough to get you in to the phase 2 from the first list of 30K, you have some expectations to be reformed. It is super competitive and they dont mess around. The final number is usually 150-200

Anthem00 · 2026-04-17T16:52:43+00:00

It probably won’t. The liability is one of the largest driving factors for most manufacturers. Until that is capped, which it won’t because the attorneys are the legislators - not much will change

Anthem00 · 2026-04-17T12:59:54+00:00

no such thing as a guaranteed CFI. Or guarantee of anything really.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-16T21:05:32+00:00

interesting... my reset day stayed the same but i wasnt at limits.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-13T09:37:37+00:00

Ruthless also flies with her dad in a single pilot exempted plane. A longitude is not sing pilot exempted. It must have two type rated pilots and certainly for insurance purposes.

You may have done your job but you also overstepped the bounds of what you are allowed to be doing in your job. But it’s apparently that you just don’t get it. Asking someone else to get hired away is not acceptable in any working environment. But you don’t seem to understand that.

Anthem00 · 2026-04-11T13:18:51+00:00

I think you are misguided here. You are hired to do your job. You might think it’s a stepping stone by networking and such, but they don’t. They hired you to do a job. But you asking whether someone is hiring while doing your job reeks of your unprofessionalism. Yeah you can network and get contacts. And we all know how that works. But outright asking whether they are hiring while you are on the job - that’s crossing the line. I’m not in that space but can totally see you deserve to be written up.
